Adaptation of games continues ..

[seblalisse]

Thanks for the games, i test it today...

Nice framerate on Continental Circus, there is not many good driving games on the Atari, i'll see it.

Have a good day

I see that there is 3D Construction Kit II too - at Atarimania, where I can DL it too. So, which version you want ?
Considering hard disk install - that works not well in many cases. Those installers and code self in SW is not really well done, and often fails with new configurations with larger partitions (over 32 MB) . Will deal with it next week most likely.

Thank you

So, the Gauntlet games (esp no.2) .. will they ever be adapted for hdd? Quite shocked they're not already if I'm honest!
Just curious. And hopeful! :-)

[Petari]

Gauntlets are done by Klapauzius and DBug. Although 2 & 3 need min 4 MB RAM.  Will look into it ..

[ataricrypt]

Hmm I thought Klaz only had the first game? Mybad...I'll have to check that out now. thanks!
Cheers PP - hope you look at making a Gauntlet 2 :-)

Got another request :=} War In Middle Earth (Melbourne House)
It's disk swapping madness. After 5mins into the game, I looked for an adapted version but sadly didn't find one :-(
Thanks

Thanks a bunch for all those adaptations and most of all to have made my dream come true with the musical score integration to Xenon 2. Would it be possible to do the same with Xenon 1? my desire, as Xmas is closing in, is to play Defender of the Crown with the FMVs of the CD32 and the musical score included to the game. I kinda always was "jealous", compared to the Amiga, never to enjoy the musical scores of Psygnosis games and the rest of the Bitmaps Brothers games into Atari versions? Could it be feasible? Thanks again for all.

[ataricrypt]

And a "thanks a bunch" from me also. Again!
War In Middle Earth downloaded... EXCELLENT!!!!!!!

As "marss0" says, Xenon 1 would be ace. I tried that the other night and got a weird memory error .. lower ram or something. Even though I've a 4mb STE. Odd.

Anyhow, LOVE the adaptations :-)

Hi Petari, I've a couple of issues with two games that I'm trying to play on my Mega STE (4mb / TOS 2.06)
First, is Forgotten Worlds. That just displays 3 bombs after leaving the initial menu
Second is Xenon, this says Too much low RAM occupied.

I've tried numerous things, such as booting without any ACCs etc etc and having a clean OS. Plus I've tried fudging the RAM down to 1mb.. but nothing works. Three bombs for FW and a strange low ram message for Xenon. Confused :S

Appreciate any advice. Thanks.

[Petari]

If says "too much low RAM occupied" the reason is mostly that hard disk driver sets large cache. That can be changed, but not so simple.

Or you wait that I redo those games with HAGA.

[ataricrypt]

Brilliant!!! I can now enjoy Xenon all over again!! Thank you so much
Forgotten Worlds still gives 3 bombs however.. but I'll be playing Xenon tonight!!

[marss0]

Thanks for Forgotten Worlds. Would it be possible to include the original arcade scores to the Ste/Falcon version? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJT8_t-vjoc&list=PL5332EAF0E66709A7

[Petari]

I wanted to make HAGA version of Forgotten Worlds, and did it partially - it works well until end of level 2, then crashes, despite I already fixed some weird errors. The problem is that game code is far from perfect. One of errors is random writing in high RAM above 512 KB - what destroys RAMdisk/cache content. It  is present on multiple places, so really hard to fix. Old Gamex system was immune on such errors because direct disk access, so no cache was needed.  I will go back on this later, when will have more free time. Then may do version with custom soundtracks too .
